What percentage of users do you think cheats?

[Mat]

I agree with having a lot of game trophies is a dead giveaway unless the account is 10+ yrs old. Also having a top score in Advert Attack is very suspicious to me, I doubt you can get a trophy in that game without cheating.

[Ridley]

I don't think the vast majority cheats, the Neopets community is highly against people who do so too.

The Neopets community is packed with smarmy bitches who doth protest too much.

100% of kadders LOL Riight, you're awake 24 hours a day to feed every single refresh, faster than is humanly possible. How they don't get caught is beyond me but maybe Neo just doesn't care now.

I think the real % is probably about 60-70% have cheated in some way, but most is probably small potatoes cheating. 6+ accounts, had someone get an avi for them, etc.

The hardcore cheaters who use ABers and SSers frequently is probably much lower. 15% or less. Considering how vast Neo is, I'm sure there's a base of users who never make themselves visible in any way and just keep themselves to themselves.

I was creeping someone the other day who fed upwards of 15k kads. I had to do a double take lol. It's definitely boring to keep refreshing and staying glued to your computer. As soon as I hit my 75 I'll stop. I dont personally see a point once you get your trophy and avatar.

They're trying to play Neopets at the "highest level of the game" like in Truth: It is what it is

I've read some say that they got "addicted" to feeding... seriously, you got addicted to wasting your life seated behind a screen waiting to refresh a page every 7 minutes? Who the heck gets addicted to that? Yes, when we get to feed a kad we get a rush, but that 15 second rush isn't worth 1 hour of your life GONE. Forever. You didn't accomplish anything great, really. I want the avatar but I feel so bad wasting my time like that!

I've said it before in a similar thread but TNT even considers userscripts to be cheating, so I would say more than half of the userbase "cheats".

[Tiny Cookie]

I say a majority of the userbase 'cheats' if you go by the rules, unspoken or not, that tnt has set up. People are even getting frozen for 'cheating' when they are manually holding F5 when trying to attach a p3.

True indeed. If we go by TNT's rules, then for sure way more than half the userbase cheats, even though most scripts are not harmful to gameplay.
I mean, what harm does a dailies sidebar to the game community? :|
And I won't even start about the side accounts limit.
